BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The ATP tour has warned players about security concerns at its tournament in Acapulco, Mexico, and has been reassured by Mexican officials that steps are being taken to improve safety conditions.

The Mexican Open begins Monday as a combined ATP and WTA event and is the largest tournament in Latin America.

The Pacific resort city has been hit by a wave of drug violence in Mexico, although little of the violence happens in tourist areas.

In January, the headless bodies of 14 men were found outside a shopping center. A 15th body with a head was found nearby.
